Skinny Finance: Creating a more efficient finance department for non-profit institutions (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419697364)

At your Educational Institution do you feel stuck in a never-ending business process? Are you often confused by the myriad unwritten criteria that stop your expenditures? Skinny Finance has solutions to these dilemmas. Skinny Finance presents a refreshing approach to Business Services. It creates a flexible culture in which the Finance Department concentrates on Institutional success rather than on accounting rules. Skinny Finance shifts staff attention away from managing each transaction and toward the activities that achieve the Strategic Goals of the Institution. Written in a fun case study format, Skinny Finance tells stories that will sound familiar to most administrators. Through these stories, the author, Jon C. Stephens, develops new organizational theory that will redefine the culture of the Department of Finance. The new culture replaces transaction analysis with process analysis. Under Skinny Finance, the staff becomes the advocate for the programs not their adversary.
